Summary:The phytochemistry of the fragrant flowers of Jasminum grandiflorum is reviewed, highlighting the remarkable circadian interplay between the isoprenoid, polyketide and shikimate pathway in this plant, and outlining the challenges involved in capturing its metabolic profligacy into extracts. After presenting a detailed historical survey on the techniques developed for the production of jasmine extracts, the identification of their constituents, their associated sensory properties and their use for authentication purposes is discussed in detail. A review on the phytochemistry of Jasminum grandiflorum of flowers, including a comprehensive survey of the extraction techniques in use for the recovery of the volatile fragrant fraction. A critical analysis of the published data on the composition of the extracts is presented.
